Every year, we transform over 2 million tonnes of construction, excavation, and demolition waste across our 14 operational recycling sites in Australia.
We lead the industry in Recycling, and our Circular Materials Solution (CMS) provides commercially viable and genuinely sustainable solutions to the building and construction industry.
Our Recycling business sorts, crushes, blends and sells recycled materials including crushed concrete, bricks, glass and soils (from sandstone or excavated sand). These recycled materials are used for road base and similar products, and are ingredients in our concrete and asphalt mixes.
Our mission is to turn potential landfill into high-quality, recycled construction materials. Over 95% of all waste received at Boral Recycling is recycled and repurposed into materials that can be used in the construction industry.
Our Circular Materials Solution is part of our commitment to providing the industry with practical, eco-friendly alternatives that stand the test of time. By embracing circular economy principles, we not only reduce waste but also lower carbon footprints, paving the way for a sustainable future.
High recycling and recovery rate across key sites, with some exceeding 99%.
We are mindful of our environmental impact and the needs and goals of our communities and customers. Using circular economy principles, we leverage our network of recycling and laboratory facilities to process construction waste material, otherwise destined for landfill, back into the construction process as new material.
Boral have developed an innovative range of more sustainable and lower carbon products for the industry, using both reclaimed and recycled materials alongside sustainable practices.
We understand that a sustainable and commercially viable approach to projects is important and have developed Boral’s CMS – an end-to-end process for key stakeholders in the building and construction industry.
We engage with customers early in the process to identify lower carbon building product options and manage their construction waste material, enabling suitable materials to be separated during demolition or excavation and diverted away from landfill.
This process reduces the cost of disposal and redirects waste to a Boral recycling centre for eventual use as new recycled or reclaimed construction materials.
Governments are mandating – and customers are requesting – use of recycled materials in road, infrastructure, and building construction. We are therefore focused on continuing to grow our existing footprint to better serve our customers.
Our footprint currently includes recycling sites in NSW, Victoria, Queensland, South Australia and the ACT, including our repurposed Emu Plains site in Sydney. Our partnership with the Delta Group in Melbourne at the Delta Sunshine site and other Boral quarries includes our new sites at Waurn Ponds and Deer Park in Victoria.
